Chapter 100 Village Chief

　　　　This guy Jin, on the surface, is immersed in the pleasure of killing.

 In fact, it can accurately and perfectly peel off brain tissue while being enclosed in the patient's body.

Her character may not be as bad as imagined,

Perhaps this is the first time she has set foot in the gray realm, and her survival instinct is suppressing the urge to appear.

If you can provide a little guidance later and get to know her more deeply, you may be able to find the coordination point between her thinking and establish a more efficient cooperative relationship. 』

 Just when Yi Chen thought about it for a moment,

 Jin was already standing in front of him, leaning forward, almost touching him, "Hurry up and show me how to use your professional abilities."

However, Yi Chen didn't move at all, and the two masses of material in his hands shriveled up on their own, eventually turning into two dry and hard walnuts.

 Jin's expression became very disappointed, "So that's it? It's really boring..."

When Jin said these words, Yi Chen had already fallen into the brain immersion brought about by "central taste".

This is the first time that Yi Chen has absorbed two essences at the same time. While replenishing his brain, he can jointly integrate two fragmented memory fragments. It feels like coffee with milk, and it tastes amazing.

For a time, the desire stimulation brought by the spore dust is instantly cleared, and the brain becomes clear and unobstructed.

 Pieces of fragmented memories were successfully read.

 It is a pity that the memory about the church is very vague, and the memory involving the interior of the church has been directly stripped away. The memory that can be effectively read is mainly after the lesion occurs.

 The related memory scenes about "combination" made Yi Chen very uncomfortable as a 'memory'.

 The villagers and their wives who came back from church wanted to reproduce the next generation that night.

 When they perform this act, they cannot be separated until their skins are completely attached and their bodies are joined together... But this combination beyond the biological basis does not make them feel uncomfortable.

 In the process, the smell emanating from their bodies attracted the cats and dogs at home, the mice in the cracks in the walls, and the goats raised in the backyard, and they all suffered from "combination disease".

The increasingly strong smell even attracts animals in the forest.

In the end, it took the form of rotten flesh that Yi Chen and Jin saw, turning into an immovable fertility "sick person".

 On average, three babies are born in one day.

 The larvae produced by them will be treated differently according to the following three situations.

  1. [Unqualified]: Larvae that do not have a basic human shape and cannot mature quickly (85%) will be picked up by "scavengers" between villages - a kind of huge villagers carrying cloth bags.

Based on the first deformed larvae discovered by Yi Chen under twisted trees, it is speculated that these unqualified larvae will be buried under different trees, forming a symbiotic relationship with the trees, promoting the "living objects" of the trees and becoming the informants in the forest.

  2. [Qualified]: The larvae (14%) that have a basic human shape and mixed with other animal characteristics will continue to obtain nutrients from the mother. If they can 'adult' within one hour, they will become [villagers].

This is the source of the disease-like illness,

If you have certain characteristics, you will also find corresponding occupations in the village. For example, the butcher killed by Jin once worked in the village's slaughterhouse, or the "scavenger" mentioned above.

Most of them are just ordinary villagers, responsible for basic tasks such as patrolling and inspection outside the village.

  3.【Holy Fetus】: A very small number of larvae (<1%) that have a sound humanoid shape and only carry standard goat characteristics will be regarded as a holy fetus by the church. Once they show up, church members will personally come to greet them and take them to the church.

 The above is all the information that Yi Chen can get, but he himself is quite confused about it.

No matter the books I have read so far or the knowledge taught by Teacher Zed in the pathology course, this kind of "disease" has never been mentioned.

It may be included in the disease source center building of Hippocrates Hospital, but Yi Chen's current status is not enough to go there.

 There is a problem with the ‘nature’ of such patients.

 Generally speaking,

 The patient has a very serious egoism and will do whatever it takes to improve himself.

 But the patients here are voluntarily confined to the room, carrying out reproduction as in the early stages of infection, even consuming their own 'essence' to obtain high-quality larvae.

　　What will eventually greet them is death, which obviously goes against the survival instinct of living things.

　　　Even among normal parents, few are willing to sacrifice their lives to provide for their offspring... not to mention, their offspring may not always stay around.

There is only one answer. There must be a "benefit" relationship in this kind of reproduction.

If they can give birth to a [holy fetus], the church will most likely give them a 'gift'... This gift may help them break away from their current state of bondage, become more perfect and free sick people, and even be accepted as members of the church. 』

Just as Yi Chen was making speculations in his mind,

The animals mingling among the streets outside the door suddenly made bursts of low, weird noises, as if they were frightened or warning something.

Jin also smelled a strong and unusual smell of meat at the same time, took the pig head and rushed out immediately.

Yi Chen quickly followed up to ensure that the plant connection between their wrists would not be broken.

 In the depths of the confusing and colorful streets,

  A huge figure is slowly approaching,

Hold a huge bag on his right shoulder,

 The left hand is holding a large pet of uncertain species.

Until he came into view, a dark-skinned man wrapped in a pitch-black windbreaker came into view.

The physique is one size larger than Yi Chen's former teammate Duckberg. The bulging and weirdly distributed muscles are squirming under the clothes. They are heavy, strong and solid.

Hand holding a two-meter-long 'pit bull' on his left hand side.

To be precise, it should be a sickly hound with human heads all over its body.

It will randomly eat animals in the street, and bite off a complete goat head in just one bite, chewing and devouring the hard goat's horns together.

When Gouzi spotted the two human youths blocking the road ahead, his muscles in his limbs tensed instantly and he jumped forward!

　　　哐丁!

The thick iron chains tied around its neck were all tightened, and the pet's unauthorized movements were tightly restricted by the dark-skinned man.

As the dog barked, the human head on his body also began to scream crazily.

but,

Compared to the dog, Yi Chen paid more attention to the dark-skinned man...especially the black sack on his shoulders, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Such an image also reminded Yi Chen of the special kind of villagers he saw when reading his memory just now - "Scavengers".

"Scavengers? No...the scavengers in the memory fragments do not have such a big body, and they do not carry pets. What on earth is this?"

 Just when Yi Chen was confused,

The dark-skinned man stopped ten meters away.

“Hello foreign tourists, I am Cauldi, the mayor of Shebolt Village, and I welcome you...”
